Blessed Believers
“And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what had been spoken to her by the Lord.” (Luke 1:45)
Mary was blessed because she believed what God told her, and she trusted He would fulfill His promises, no matter how bold and unexpected. What could be more surprising than a virgin birth? No one had ever seen such a thing before or since!
Sounds a lot like heaven. Have you seen it? Nope. I haven’t either. Do you have any proof that there is life after death? We have nothing more than God’s word on the matter. Our hope is built on a promise that there is a new life on the other side of this earthly realm.
To believe in angels, demons, heaven, and hell are all a matter of trusting God’s statements about such invisible, spiritual things. This is what we call faith. We have faith in Him and the evidence of His goodness and character. We believe Him and His promises, and therefore, we reach out for the fulfillment of what He has said though we have never seen or touched it with our own eyes and hands.
Mary’s faith led to a blessing in Jesus. Ours will, too.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
